About Me

Hello everyone!
I had some break from Couchsurfing during the covid years but now I'm back.
I try to live kindly and change the world to be more kind to us all.
I am a 'typical Finn' in a sense that I can be a little shy at first. However, that can change quickly if our personalities match. I also do enjoy getting to know different people.
I'm gay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed and I've hosted and I like them both. It's a good way to get to know people from other regions of the world.

I eat vegan, travel by train, and take care of myself and others the best I can.
